OK you appliance gurus out there, help me diagnose a problem with our Maytag electric clothes dryer.
The dryer heats and dries OK, but will not shut off automatically. In automatic mode, the dial moves as the clothes dry, but once it gets to "cool down" cycle the heating element shuts off but the timer/dial stops moving and the dryer continues to run. Same when in manual (timer) mode - it dries fine, shuts off the heating element but continues to run until manually turned off.
I've checked to be sure the vent is clear of lint. The airflow coming out of the vent is very strong and the drying time seems normal.
Ideas?
